― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

why is that not marijuana in that spin doctors photo is what i want to know.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

I think it would be better to spell it the way that *he* (and his parents) prefer - i.e. "Yorke".

Everyone would look better with Bon Jovi hair, though.

Erm, what's going on here? Is he being dipped in chocolate? Or is that just my perverse fantasy?

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

You should go for it.

Yom Tork - wasn't he in the Hassidic Monkees?

― Unhappy Returns (NickB), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

he *was* dipped, now he has a stream of chocolate shooting out the top of his head.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 30 September 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry but I keep having to come back and look at that picture to prove it's really real. Other people can see that, right, I've not completely lost my mind on Lemsip?

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

like a horned lizard.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

That's not chocolate that's a month's supply of Bono's hair dye

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

You should go for it.

Oh heavens no, the suggestor of this idea must surely be the first to test it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god, it's a whole series:

Oh my, is it hot in here or is it just me?

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

Your taste in men never fails to baffle me

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

looks like he's wearing teffillin in that 3rd one.

― AaronK (AaronK), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

"Suck on my chocolate salted Yorke..."

Uh, what? What's so baffling about that? He's DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE!!!

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

She likes ugly guys because liking hot guys is too "conventional."

In checking the URL -- this was part of an Oxfam campaign? I am not merely bemused, but befuddled. But I presume the idea was -- donate lots of money, get Thom Yorke to live our your sexual fantasies about him.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

Dear Oxfam:

Please can you get Jared Harris, a vat of marshmallow fluff (vegetarian of course) and one large net. I will donate One Million Pounds!

Regards,
Kate

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Wow, apparently you could get Alanis Morosette tied up in grain as well:

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Friday, 30 September 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Something for Kate to get her teeth into...

I think it would be better to spell it the way that *she* (and her parents) prefer - i.e. "Morissette".

Marshmallow fluff is generally vegetarian, it's actual marshmallows that aren't.
